The fate of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas “will be answered very much by the leadership of the Palestinian militant group,” CIA Deputy Director David Cohen said on Wednesday.
Cohen, who did not mention Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by name, told the Intelligence and National Security Summit in Washington that Israel had shown seriousness in the negotiations.
Mediators from the United States, Egypt and Qatar have been trying to broker a deal to avert a wider regional war.
Of those efforts, Cohen said, “There may be some incidents where people resist, but I don’t think anybody can be certain that this effort to control escalation is something that … any party in the region” can control.
